7\/10<\/span><\/p>\nLet me present you a unique event - the first review of band from planet Venus in the history of Bagnik Zine. Evil tongues say that the project actually comes from France, but you and I understand that the aliens simply chose this country because of its tolerance for representatives of other cultures and races. In the end, the Venusians are certainly no worse than some friggin Moroccans or Senegalese. It turns out that on Venus, as on Earth, they also like atmospheric metal in English language, moreover, associated with Mayan mythology. More precisely, the opposite; everyone knows that the ancient Mayans got their knowledges from guests from outer space, and now it\u2019s clear which ones.
\nI had close encounter of the second kind with IDOLOS (by e-mail), and they asked me about the review. Judging by the persistence with which they reminded about themselves, we are fortunate that Venusians are not going to conquer us yet! You won\u2019t beat these bustlers. Be that as it may, I spent my time not in vain. Although the band initially sounds very Italian (slurred vocals and insipid sound), it quickly becomes clear that its strength is in riffs. For a long time I have not heard such excellent riffs and tenacious melodies in atmospheric metal. There is absolutely no dull tremolo + blast beat moves; the compositions are dynamic, but not in a hurry. In some ways, they are akin to the special kind of Doom Metal performed by acts like THE HOWLING VOID. In addition, the band plays brilliant solos and inserts beautiful acoustic interludes with plans from outer space. In theory, the most \"cosmic\" track should have been the last one, included as a bonus on the new edition of the EP (it is designated as \u201cExtraterrestial\u201d), but it came out ambiguously. In some places, epicness drunk with unearthly energies, in others - hysterical screams of a crazy idiot. Nevertheless, I highly recommend listening to the whole EP, this is a very good work.<\/p>\n
